The motion picture industry doesn't have a monopoly on previews of coming attractions -- Gov. Christie offered his version Jan. 11.

As Christie delivered his annual message to the Legislature, he declared:
"If New Jersey is to become a home for growth, we need to reform the taxes we place on business and individuals and begin to roll them back.

"So we need comprehensive tax reform -- and by that I mean changes that are considered together, not in a piecemeal approach.

"In my budget next month -- Feb.22 - I will propose the initial installment of such a package.

"But let's be clear: We will not put in place any tax cuts we can't pay for.

"Any economic incentive package that I will sign will be enacted in the context, and only in the context of a balanced budget."

A remarkable statement considering the Christie administration struggled out of a $10.7 billion budget deficit in the fiscal year ending June 30.

It has been learned Christie will propose a $100 million reduction in business taxes Feb.22. New Jersey advanced from 50th to 48th in business climate outlook. It's only a beginning for Christie.

Later, the administration hopes to reduce individual income taxes. Christie Republicans think they're on the right track.
